Chapter 202: Chapter 18: Fighting Side-by-Side with Madam Ye
Madam Ye pointed at the distant pillar of water and, with a Transformation Technique, surged her Magical Power. The pillar immediately began to spin, furiously drawing in the surrounding lake water.
A moment later, a vast and powerful aura emerged.
The pillar of water coalesced into a thousand-foot giant. The Spiritual Qi around its body shifted, and in an instant, its entire form erupted into incomparably intense flames. The terrifying heat scorched the very air, causing all the clouds in the nearby sky to evaporate.
"Who dares disturb my secluded cultivation?"
A cold, vicious voice boomed from Jiachen Island, echoing across the sky.
With a flicker, Madam Ye appeared floating above the thousand-foot Flame Giant’s head, her robes fluttering. She shouted icily, "Mad Daoist! You murdered an Elder of my Ye Family and seized our Spiritual Ore. Get out here and face your death!"
A fit of crazed laughter echoed from Jiachen Island, followed by his voice. "I was wondering who it could be. So, it’s Fellow Daoist Feng. Surely you’re mistaken. I was the first to discover this place. How could it possibly belong to your Ye Family?"
Madam Ye snorted coldly. Wasting no more words, she activated a spell. The Spiritual Qi around the thousand-foot Flame Giant beneath her feet swirled, and it instantly transformed into a giant of bone-chilling, icy water.
The giant reached out with its massive hand, and waves surged up from the Abyssal Marsh, coalescing into a colossal, shimmering axe of water that landed in its grasp.
In the next moment, the water and fire on the giant’s body transformed once more, coexisting in a bizarre harmony.
Fang Cheng could vaguely discern that Madam Ye had mastered and integrated the Feng Family’s Flame Demon True Technique and the Ye Family’s Black Water Profound Talisman Scripture, merging them into one. He could even see faint traces of the Cyan Yuan Demon Tree Skill in her technique.
The giant’s features blurred as it reverted to its form of pure flame. Gripping the axe with both hands, it brought it down with the ferocity of a war god, unleashing an unimaginable weight and an immense, searing power all at once!
The axe slammed into the dense dark clouds above Jiachen Island, striking them as if they were a massive gray crystal.
Ripples spread through the surrounding void, which then rapidly collapsed and condensed under immense pressure. In the space between the axe and the dark clouds, a blinding, rapidly spinning ball of light suddenly materialized, like a vortex constantly devouring light and heat.
An astonishingly high temperature radiated out in all directions.
Even Fang Cheng, who was a considerable distance away, felt the discomfort. Every breath was like inhaling a wisp of flame that scorched his internal organs, causing him immense pain.
He hastily circulated his Magical Power, and a spiritual glow flickered around him to block the searing heat.
He saw that the sphere of light beneath the giant axe was searing hot and majestic, emitting a terrifying aura. It looked as if layers of fire had ignited in the air around it.
Meanwhile, from within the thick, gloomy clouds, blinding bolts of lightning erupted, weaving themselves into a massive dome that enveloped Jiachen Island.
BOOM!
The ball of light exploded violently.
The very air ignited. Flames of every kind merged and transformed into a raging ocean, surging toward Jiachen Island like a wildfire.
The Flame Giant stood proudly at the edge of the island. It raised its great axe again and, with incredible speed and shifting power, unleashed a flurry of strikes!
Incandescent phantoms of the axe struck the lightning dome again and again. The resulting flare became blindingly bright, and with a tremendous roar, the massive dome shattered!
Shattered streams of light and arcs of lightning filled the sky, scattering in every direction.
’So this is the power of a Mid-stage Life Talisman Cultivator?’
Fang Cheng watched the exploding bursts of fire and lightning, inwardly stunned.
’As expected of Madam Ye!’
In a mere moment, she had shattered the Mad Daoist’s Deep Abyss Yin Thunder Array.
Just then, a savage laugh echoed from within the sky full of fire and lightning. A spear of coalesced lightning suddenly pierced through the void, aimed straight at Madam Ye, whose aura had dipped at the expenditure of her Magical Power.
The Water Cloud Bead in Fang Cheng’s hand trembled slightly. An ethereal, silent beam of sword light shot out from the bead, appearing before Madam Ye in a flash.
In the next instant, the sword light flared. The lightning spear was sliced in two, the halves flashing past either side of Madam Ye’s body before dissipating into two brilliant bursts of electricity that vanished into the air.
